  • Brompton dropped the titanium for the main reason that they had severe supply problems. To the extent that you had a huge wait to get one. One has to guess that the price of titanium may also have helped. Either way it's a commercial availability decision - 'want a lighter seatpost sir? here's the option' and most brompton buyers could not give a damn - plus it's lighter so.. win win.
    Good quality Alu is a lovely thing.
    (Case in point to alu vs stuff is the Thompson seatpost range - superb quality Alu lighter than many Carbon seatposts let alone Titanium. I lust after the Moulton 953 speed 953 seatpost, so so light...)
    The new lighter front wheel is far more interesting anyway :)

    All right then... pfff... why was I being so fussy, my seat post is steel anyway on my Brompton...

    Thanks for the clarification...
